Lockdown and Evacuation Drill at Walkersville High

WHSCurrently, Walkersville High School is conducting a full lockdown and evacuation drill.  Please know this is just a planned drill.  Passersby may notice fire equipment at the school. This has been planned with the Frederick County Fire and Rescue Department so that, during a real emergency, the school understands what the fire department is going to do and the fire department knows what the school is going to do.

This type of activity is part of the school’s overall safety and security plan, and is conducted occasionally throughout the school year.

During this time, different measures are taken by the high school’s administration to ensure the overall safety of students and staff in partnership with local law enforcement when appropriate.

Drills are not pre-announced in order to simulate actual response and protocol expectations of staff and building personnel.  This allows staff to best prepare in real time and action for actual emergencies.

If this had been a real emergency, timely communication would have been sent via Find-Out-First and to the community with instructions regarding process and procedures.

WHS Administration is committed to providing the safest environment for our students, and will continue to conduct routine drills to support that mission.

Please encourage children not to send false messages or rumors via technology during these events to ensure information received in the community is accurate.
